Paradise
Amazing stay. Staff were amazing and friendly. Felt like we were part of the family. Will highly recommend this property. Slightly out of the centre of town, but nice and quiet area.

A peaceful haven
With all the comforts for a wonderful relaxing stay, the views overlooking the rice fields provides a peaceful tranquility to the location. The small dipping pool was ideal for hot/humid days and the outdoor gazebo was a haven even during the thunderstorms. But the staff too are what makes this villa stay so memorable - whether the delicious banana pancakes at breakfast with the delicious fruit drinks, or the wonderful drivers Kadek and his daughter Putu always happy to take you wherever you want to go. Though with traffic, seldom just 10 minutes to Ubud but in the airconditioned cars, no sweat! And do chedule the additional cost for the in villa cooking class - fabulous and opportunity for sampling the local cuisine. Highly recommend this villa.

Fabulous relaxing getaway near Ubud
This property is wonderful, with a stunning setting and layout that maximizes outdoor living. All the rooms connect to very livable outdoor spaces. Each bedroom has an outdoor bathroom and shower or tub/shower. The two bedrooms have A/C units, which we used at night; otherwise, the ceiling fans in the bedrooms, kitchen, and main living area were sufficient to make it pleasant. The pool is plus for cooling off. I would suggest incorporating a fan into the bathroom spaces as well; they are walled in for privacy, so they do not tend to get any breezes. The couple that provides the day-to-day cleaning, cooking and services are incredibly wonderful people. Husband and wife are both named Kadek. Kadek (wife) takes care of the villa, cooking and cleaning, and has managed it for many years. Kadek (husband) provides efficient and reliable transportation services (like your own private taxi) and will arrange tours as well. We highly recommend both of them. The location is perfect for a relaxing stay away from the hustle, bustle and noise of Ubud, yet near enough to easily visit Ubud's attractions, stores and restaurants. There is a folder with useful instructions and recommendations. We found the restaurant recommendations to be excellent. We did a cooking class that they recommended and that Kadek (wife) arranged, and it was a blast. Ran out of time before we could try the chef services for the villa, but I'm sure those services would be just as good. Overall, this is an A+ rental.

Charming getaway
Our stay at the villa was amazing. The villa was beautiful and open to nature and a rice field. It had air conditioning in the primary bedroom, and the second bedroom is just as nice. There is a plunge pool, so many sitting areas, beautiful living area that had accordion doors that can be opened up completely, and a kitchen with everything we needed. The villa felt very serene even with sounds of nature such as roosters and crickets. The koi pond gave it a zen feel as well. We received a “wake up” call from the community nearby each morning. The house manager- Kadek, her sweet daughters, and husband took care of us by providing breakfast each morning, maintaining the villa, and helping us explore the areas we wanted to see. We hired them as tour guide/ driver vs hiring an outside tour guide. Kadek also helped me schedule a massage at the Villa. They also have security guards outside the villas in the evenings throughout the night. We really enjoyed our time at the beautiful River Moon and would recommend it to others. If you are fine with nature and want a serene getaway this villa is the one.

Serenity
We very much enjoyed our stay at the villa. Kadek & family made our stay very enjoyable. Our girls made new friends with tikka. We were picked up from the airport, breakfast was made each morning for us. They were so kind to us. The villa was as pictured. Very beautiful and peaceful. Enjoyed the roosters and chanting to wake up to each morning.

Just perfection
I had always dreamed of coming to Bali and reliving an eat, pray, love experience. Our villa was perfect for that purpose! The location nestled just outside of the town of Ubud gave us access to the buzzing town, but some serenity at home. The villa itself was lovely and very high-end for the area. Our hosts were absolutely delightful, and made the stay extremely special.

Best vacation experience ever!
We were very excited to stay in this villa because of how beautiful it was and it exceeded our expectations. The villa was gorgeous and very comfortable. Kadek, Kadek and their daughters were all so welcoming and very helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They are the best team I’ve ever encountered. If you’re traveling to Ubud, you must stay here. You’ll have the best time!

Wonderful River Moon Villa
We spent 3 nights at River Moon villa, part of Desa Bulan. The villa is about 10 minutes drive from Ubud but it easy to get a ride to and from Ubud. Ubud is hectic, so the serenity of the village is the perfect balance. The villa is staffed by a couple who will look after you very well (great breakfast; cleaning and driving around).

Wonderful stay - highly recommend
We had a fantastic holiday at River Moon and would highly recommend the experience of staying there to other travellers. We came as a couple with a young son and found the villa was spacious, set in beautiful countryside and very comfortable and relaxing. We also really appreciated the warmth, attention and dedication of the staff who looked after us, which was a highlight of the stay. Kadek and her team cooked us breakfast and we ordered in delicious local meals too for lunches and dinners quite frequently. Kadek was also a wonderful nanny to our little boy on the trip and so we were very comfortable to live him in her care while we popped into Ubud alone. He absolutely loved her and had a great time playing with her! Nyoman was a fantastic tour guide and driver, so we were able to follow his suggestions and see the interesting local cultural sights with ease. In retrospect we would have booked in even more trips with him as it was the best way to see everything so comfortably. Another positive was the tranquil and relaxing swimming pool near the villa, which we used several times for a swim, with a child pool for our son. I would recommend the holiday to families, couples and friends who are looking for a very special and peaceful retreat just on the outskirts of Ubud. It was a highly memorable Christmas for us with lots of beautiful memories. Thank you to everyone at River Moon!

Beautiful fully equiped villa with amazing staff!
We staying in Rivermoon villa for 5 nights with two families including two small babies. The villa itself is very beautiful and well kept. Everything was very well organised for us by the staff who were always around when needed. Kadek and her nephew were taking very good care of us and were very friendly. They were also very helpful with the kids. The villa is 10min drive without traffic from centre of Ubud located in a small village.

We were thrilled to host Sarie and Simon at River Moon Villa here in Ubud. They were extremely quick and easy in communication during the process of making arrangements, and I was particularly impressed with their respect of my villa, my team who looked after them and the local village community. We highly recommend Sarie and Simon to future hosts, and would love to have them return to River Moon Villa.
